Using Website Payments Pro ========================== .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 detail `Website Payments Pro `_ is a version of PayPal that lets you accept payments on your site using server side calls. The branding of this is confusing. It was branded as "Paypal Payments Pro" at one point. Later "PayPal Payments Pro (Payflow Edition)" was introduced, and that was later renamed to "PayPal Payments Pro", while the old "PayPal Payments Pro" was rebranded to "Website Payments Pro". It is this older API (not Payflow) that is supported by django-paypal and documented here. The PayPal Website Payments Pro solution reuses code from `paypal.standard` so you'll need to include both apps. django-paypal makes the whole process incredibly easy to use through the provided ``PayPalPro`` class. 1. Obtain PayPal Pro API credentials: login to PayPal, click *My Account*, *Profile*, *Request API credentials*, *Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions*, *View API Signature*. 2. Edit ``settings.py`` and add ``paypal.standard`` and ``paypal.pro`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` and put in your PayPal Pro API credentials. .. code-block:: python INSTALLED_APPS = [ # .. 'paypal.standard', 'paypal.pro', ] PAYPAL_TEST = True PAYPAL_WPP_USER = "???" PAYPAL_WPP_PASSWORD = "???" PAYPAL_WPP_SIGNATURE = "???" 3. :doc:`/updatedb` 4. Write a wrapper view for ``paypal.pro.views.PayPalPro``: In views.py: .. code-block:: python from paypal.pro.views import PayPalPro def nvp_handler(nvp): # This is passed a PayPalNVP object when payment succeeds. # This should do something useful! pass def buy_my_item(request): item = {"paymentrequest_0_amt": "10.00", # amount to charge for item "inv": "inventory", # unique tracking variable paypal "custom": "tracking", # custom tracking variable for you "cancelurl": "http://...", # Express checkout cancel url "returnurl": "http://..."} # Express checkout return url ppp = PayPalPro( item=item, # what you're selling payment_template="payment.html", # template name for payment confirm_template="confirmation.html", # template name for confirmation success_url="/success/", # redirect location after success nvp_handler=nvp_handler) return ppp(request) 5. Create templates for payment and confirmation. By default both templates are populated with the context variable ``form`` which contains either a ``PaymentForm`` or a ``Confirmation`` form. payment.html: .. code-block:: html

Show me the money

{{ form }}
confirmation.html: .. code-block:: html

Are you sure you want to buy this thing?

{{ form }}
6. Add your view to ``urls.py``, and add the IPN endpoint to receive callbacks from PayPal: .. code-block:: python from django.urls import path, include from myproject import views urlpatterns = [ ... path('payment-url/', views.buy_my_item), path('paypal/', include('paypal.standard.ipn.urls')), ] 7. Profit. Alternatively, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty and perform some more advanced operations with Payments Pro, use the :class:`paypal.pro.helpers.PayPalWPP` class directly.
